SOUTHWEST UPPER FLOW. AT THE SURFACE A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT AND THE COUNTY WARNING AREA WILL
BE WELL WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR ON WEDNESDAY.

500 MB TEMPERATURES DROP SLIGHTLY ON WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL RESULT IN
LARGER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND INCREASE THE INSTABILITY. RIGHT
REAR QUADRANT OF UPPER JET WILL ALSO BE ADVANCING INTO THE AREA BY
AFTERNOON AND WILL ENHANCE THE LIFT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

EXPECTING A MAJORITY OF ANY ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH
BETWEEN 00Z/8PM AND 03Z/11PM. THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING. ONCE ATMOSPHERE
HEATS UP ON WEDNESDAY SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD TONIGHT AND WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
AIRMASS ON WEDNESDAY...WITH LEAN TOWARD WARMER MAV GUIDANCE FOR
AFTERNOON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM EDT TUESDAY...

AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ROUGHLY NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER...THEN INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THE SYSTEM
WILL BE SHEARING AND WEAKENING...HOWEVER WHAT'S LEFT OF THE UPPER
LEVEL WAVE SHOULD SPAWN SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK AS IT LIMPS EAST. SOMEWHAT DRIER AND COOLER AIR ARRIVES BY THE
WEEKEND...WITH BEST CHCS FOR PRECIP THROUGH EXTREME SW VA AND NW NC
AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST.
